The Nigerian Military’s confirmation of an alleged coup plot against President Bola Tinubu’s government has continued to trigger alarming reactions online. The plot, reportedly involving officers from captain to brigadier-general, raised serious concerns given Nigeria’s painful history with military takeovers.
While many condemned the attempt, some comments went beyond criticism into outright endorsement of instability. One such remark read: “Since Army no fits, may be na Nigeria police force go sabi am well well.”
The statement casually suggests that the police should attempt a coup, trivializing the grave consequences of unconstitutional power grabs. Critics warned that such rhetoric ignores the violence, economic collapse, and loss of civil liberties that coups bring.
For many observers, the comment reflects deep frustration with governance, but also a dangerous normalization of anti-democratic thinking—where national chaos is joked about instead of rejected.
